Have You Any Old Golfhalls That You Can
Dispense With To Aid Very Worthy Cause?
Do you have any old golfballs
that are not in use-balls that
are full of nicks and cuts and
bruises? Or perhaps you have a
few that are in fairly good con­dition
that you'd like to con­tribute
to a very worthy cause.
Goodyear has received a let­ter
from Robert D. Berrie, as­sistant
director of convalescent
training at a Dutch New Guinea
air force base, asking for golf­balls.
The air force there has
set up a training program to
assist the soldiers in returning
to good physical condition be­fore
going back to active duty
with their organizations.
Among the facilities that
have been set up at that Dutch
New Guinea base include a com­plete
gymnasium, a miniature

driving range{ a baseball dia­mond

greatest problem, according to
Lieutenant Berrie, is golfballs.
Bid Edmund, director of edu­cation
and recreation, entering
wholeheartedly into this cam­paign
to collect balls for these
men-possibly many are former
Goodyearites-asks that all golf
enthusiasts at Aircraft and
Goodyear contribute at least
one ball. It will mean many
hours of pleasure for the sol­diers,
and would be a great in­centive
during the days of re­cuperation.
Persons wishing to make con­tributions
are asked to take, or
send, the golfballs to the em­ployee
activities office at Plant
1 dr Aircraft.
"It's little enc_>u.gh to give the
men who are g1vmg everything
for us," said Bid.

WITH IT CAME NEW HOPE AND FAITH
AND, ULTIMATELY, VICTORY
· GEORGE WASHINGTON'S birthday anniversary is
tomorrow, and when we think of Washington we
recall that it was in his time that for once the light of
freedom flickered in America. That was during the bit­ter
cold at Valley Forge. Men were hungry and shoeless,
fighting equipment was meager, and the spirit of the
soldiers was ebbing toward desertion and surrender.
However, Washington rallied his followers. A tough
job had to be done. Washington set a great example for
all Americans. He didn't falter, even at a time when the
going was extremely discouraging and difficult. He
didn't turn back. Like the rest of us, he was only hu­man,
but he believed in something, and those "self­evident
truths" meant far more to him than his own life.
Today there's a tough job ahead for the United Na­tions.
Terrible battles still are in progress. Many bloody
conflicts loom in the offing. Germany and Japan are far
~ defeated, and only the other day men high in
~rican military circles predicted that following the
defeat of the Nazis a year or perhaps two years of war
against Japan will ensue before Hirohito will raise the
white flag.
Millions of our boys today are on the far-flung bat­tle
fronts. They have given up the comforts of their
homes and left their loved ones to fight against tyranny,
oppression, heathenism and barbarism.
Washington, too, gave up the comfort of his home
at Mount Vernon to come near to losing his life at Val­ley
Forge. There in those dark days he was surrounded
by despondent men. But spring finally crept its way into
that desolate camp, and with it came new hope and
faith and, ultimately, victory.
Today, as in the days of Washington, we are strug­gling
against mighty enemies, determined that we shall
continue to enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap­piness,"
those cardinal principles for which Washington
aa his brave patriots so valiantly fought one hundred
9seventy-five years ago.
Let us hope and pray that after this war the imple­ments
of strife will be laid aside, and the tools of Amer­ican
progress will again be pre-eminent in the march
toward a future that belongs to a true democracy.
Today we have a difficult task to perform. We must
defeat the Nazis and Japs decisively. Then we will have
a greater America and a better world tomorrow.

Question : "Do you believe
that George Washington never
told a lie?"
Helen Ford, Dept. 508D, bowl­ing
alley: "No. I sure don't. · I
think everyone, i n c l u d i n g
George, has stretched the truth
at least once. Washington was
a great man, but these stories
about the cherry tree and sim­ilar
incidents are little more
than fables."
Bob Bruce, Dept. 885, mail­ing:
"I'm quite sure he mu1t
have told at least one little fl.b.
I don't see how he could have
gotten through life without do­ing
so. However, I don't believe
he ever lied about anything im­portant.
He was wise enough to
know that lying usually brings
unhappiness."
George Channel, Dept. 159A,
band tri.:.cks: "Washington was
a truthful man. I think he was
so honest that be always told
the truth, regardless of whether
or not it hurt him personally."
A. R. Robertson, Dept. 163B,
retreading and repair: "I don't
believe it's true. I've been in a
lot of scrapes I've had to lie my
way out of and I should imagine
Washington did, too. He would
hardly have been human if he
hadn't."
Mary C. Duffey, Dept. 180F,
balloon room: "It's hard to tell,
but I think everyone has told at
least one fl.b. But, perhaps,
Washington was so clever he
never got into a situation where
it was necessary to hedge with
the truth."
A. B. Karne11, DeP-t. lU:M,
zone engineering: "Its so eaay
to tell a lie, and although Wash­ington
was a good, honest man,
I think he must have told at
least one lie unintentionally.
Sometimes lying ia more kind
than telling the truth."
Roae Heath, Goodyear Em­ployee
Store: "Do_you want ml
candid opinion ? Well, I don t
believe there is anyone who
hasn't told a lie or wouldn't tell
a lie sometime or other, and I
think George Washington prob­ably
fibbed a bit, too."

before, the monthly deficit av­eraging
$14,000 for the past
several months.
Principal changes in the new
amendments pertain to a lim­itation
of relief benefits for
members joining the association
after February 14. New mem­bers
will not be paid weekly
benefits for disability caused by
sickness during the first three
months for which dues are
charged but they will receive
benefits' and hospitalization for
injurv cases.
New members will be paid 75
per cent of scheduled vocational
or non-vocational weekly bene­fits
for the first three years and
then attain the status of pres­ent
members; new male mem­bers
who are fifty years of age
or over, and females forty years
of age or older, will be paid 50
per cent of scheduled non-voca­tional
and 100 per cent of sched­uled
vocational benefits.
Partially offsetting these re­strictions
is the elimination of
waivers on physical or mental
conditions constituting m o r e
than an ordinary risk, which
were required under the old
regulations.
The amended regulations also
cancel t:nexpired waivers of all
old members.
All changes in amendments
were effective February 15.

When Jack Altman, formerly
in Dept. 180, balloon room, and
his wife, the former Macon Dil­lard
of Fredericksburg, Va.,
celebrated their first wedding
anniversary on February 3, they
shared their happiness with
Jack's parents by sending home
a picture of themselves.
Jack, a gunner with the naval

Ou·r vitamin knowledge is far
from being complete, for we
know if we feed all the known
vitamins and other food nu- I

Therefore, we have reason to
believe that there are other
vital nutrients which we have
not yet discovered.
Do not take a chance with
your health by eating anything
you have a whim for at the
moment, then swallow a vita­min
pill that boasts of giving
you all the vitamins and min­erals
you need for a day, and
think you are being well fed.
Vitamin concentrates are a
medicine and should be admin­istered
as such. Your doctor is
the only one to prescribe them.
You may say that they give you
no ill effe'Cts but how much
good can you honestly attribute
to them ? Your best vitamin
source is your victory garden.

Charlene Overs
Charlene Overs, daughter of
Charles Overs, Dept. 321, Air­foam,
has been designated offi­cial
pinup girl of an army bat­talion
in the Pacific, according
to information from an officer
of the battalion. Charlene is
emplqyed by an insurance com­pany
in Akron. She's a graduate
of St. Vincent's High School,
class of 1944.
Seamen first class Carl Web­ster
and Thomae Constitine, for­mer
Goodyear apprentice me­chanic,
visited the plant last
week. Carl has just completed a
year's training in radar and was
enroute to California. Thomas
has finished his boot training at
Great Lakes, Ill.
Larry Miller, foreman of
Dept. 117, sheet metal, spoke up:
"Why, Joe, I haven't had a ball
in my hands for twenty years
and I can beat that.
"I'll double your score any
time you care to roll," chal­lenged
Joe.
"It's a deal!" snapped Larr~"
So -the two met for their
"grudge" match at Goodyear
alleys, accompanied by their re­spective
rooters.
How did the match turn out?
Oh, like any good story should­in
spite of his twenty years' ab­sence
from the alleys, Larry
beat Joe ten pins, 144 to 134.
And to top it off, he used Joe's
favorite ball, tool Now Larry is
puffed up.

The Window Garden
Plant physicists have tried to
tell us just what happens when
sun floods the foliage of a plant,
but all that the house plant
owner needs to know is that the
rays of sunshine are beneficial
to plant growth.
Without light there would be
no green chlorophyll in the
leaves. The action of the si:n on
these tiny green bodies changes
into usable plant food the com­plex
nutrients absorbed by the
roots.
During the dull days of win­ter
every ray of sunlight should
be cherished for the plants.
Keep the window gla;;s clean,
roll the shades to the top, dis­pense
with the draperie~ and
mstead use living drapes of
vines. These can start from
hanging brackets which hold
the plant across the glass or
rest on the glass shelves fast­ened
across the window.
Watering must never be ne­glected
because on bright day11
growth is more active and the
plants w i l t quickly without
moisture.
Once a week the plants should
be turned so they will not grow
onesided. On cold nights the
plants should be moved back
from the chilly glass or pro­tected
with sheets of newspaper
s lipped between them and the
glass.
E. D. Nolt, Dept. 315C, rim
development, has been confined
to his home several weeks with
a hip injury.

Have You Any Old Golfhalls That You Can
Dispense With To Aid Very Worthy Cause?
Do you have any old golfballs
that are not in use-balls that
are full of nicks and cuts and
bruises? Or perhaps you have a
few that are in fairly good con­dition
that you'd like to con­tribute
to a very worthy cause.
Goodyear has received a let­ter
from Robert D. Berrie, as­sistant
director of convalescent
training at a Dutch New Guinea
air force base, asking for golf­balls.
The air force there has
set up a training program to
assist the soldiers in returning
to good physical condition be­fore
going back to active duty
with their organizations.
Among the facilities that
have been set up at that Dutch
New Guinea base include a com­plete
gymnasium, a miniature

golf course, a putting green and
driving range{ a baseball dia­mond
and vol eyball court. The
greatest problem, according to
Lieutenant Berrie, is golfballs.
Bid Edmund, director of edu­cation
and recreation, entering
wholeheartedly into this cam­paign
to collect balls for these
men-possibly many are former
Goodyearites-asks that all golf
enthusiasts at Aircraft and
Goodyear contribute at least
one ball. It will mean many
hours of pleasure for the sol­diers,
and would be a great in­centive
during the days of re­cuperation.
Persons wishing to make con­tributions
are asked to take, or
send, the golfballs to the em­ployee
activities office at Plant
1 dr Aircraft.
"It's little enc_>u.gh to give the
men who are g1vmg everything
for us," said Bid.
Rieker Transferred
To Moffett Field
Commander John B. Rieker,
w~ll-known former Goodyear
bhmp pilot, with the Wingfoot
Lake crew a long time, has
been transferred to Moffett
Field, ,Calif., where he becomes
executive officer of the Pa­cific

Paddle For Wally
To Bail Out Boat
Intrigued by the rubber boats
Goodyear is building, Wally
Beery announced several times
during the l'remiere of "This
Man's Navy' that he was go­ing
to have one some time for
his Wyoming ranch.
So a package was delivered to
Wally just before he left his
hotel, containing a big hand­carved
wooden paddle, made by
Charles Sollers, labor training
foreman in the rubberized fab­ric
division, Goodyear Plant 3.
"You can use it to bail out
that boat," Sollers wrote.
Wally was delighted with.

A dancing club for couples is
to be organized within the next

department announces.
Sunny Hudson and George Nolte
will be instructors, and the club
is open to Goodyear employes
and families.
A series of advanced instruc­tions
for the existing W ednes­day

Larry Miller, foreman of
Dept. 117, sheet metal, spoke up:
"Why, Joe, I haven't had a ball
in my hands for twenty years
and I can beat that.
"I'll double your score any
time you care to roll," chal­lenged
Joe.
"It's a deal!" snapped Larr~"
So -the two met for their
"grudge" match at Goodyear

How did the match turn out?
Oh, like any good story should­in
spite of his twenty years' ab­sence
from the alleys, Larry
beat Joe ten pins, 144 to 134.
And to top it off, he used Joe's
favorite ball, tool Now Larry is
puffed up.
